total approximately $60 million. The project feasibility analysis assumes that the proposed residential and commercial development in East Pleasanton will cover the cost burden of these improvements. Under these circumstances, the alternatives which include more development, particularly more residential development, will be those which are more likely to be economically feasible. By the same token, if the City were to share the cost of infrastructure, the economic feasibility of a smaller project alternative would be increased. 2. El Charro Road will be extended from its current terminus lust south of 1-580 and will connect to Stanley Boulevard as shown in the General Plan. Infrastructure costs would be significantly reduced if El Charro Road terminated at Busch Road. However, this configuration of El Charro Road is not likely to result in relief of traffic congestion on Valley Avenue and Santa Rita Road as anticipated in the General Plan. 3. Development beyond the existing Urban Growth Boundary is contemplated in all the plan alternatives. Program 22.6 of the General Plan Land Use Element contemplated reevaluation of the Urban Growth Boundary in East Pleasanton at such time as a plan for the future of reclaimed quarry land is considered. Whether or not such an adjustment to the UGB will require a vote of the people will be determined by the City Council. 4. Relocation of the City's Operation Services Center and the Pleasanton Garbage Service Transfer Station although desirable shall be cost neutral to the City and to PGS ratepayers. The existing location of the PGS facility (more so than the OSC) is a severe constraint to future residential development. Relocation of both facilities is shown in several of the alternatives. Although staff is aware that property owners have talked to the owners of PGS, no agreement regarding relocation has been reached at this time. 5. Plans should accommodate a public elementary school site adiacent to a public park. Alternative 5 shows the school site on the Operations Services Center; Other alternatives show the school on private property. 6. Boulder Street should be extended to Busch Road and/or El Charro to help disburse traffic on the larger street network. Extending Boulder Street would help reduce the traffic on Busch Road. 7. The East Pleasanton Specific Plan should accommodate a portion of the housing need for the next two RHNA cycles. Planning staff will soon starting working on the City's next Housing Element update for the 2014 to 2022 planning period. The next Housing Element planning period after that runs from 2022 to 2030. The City will need to find sites to accommodate the housing need for both of these updates (see more details regarding the City's Regional Housing Need Allocation numbers on p. 7 of this agenda report). As East Pleasanton is one of the few vacant, developable areas in the City and will be building out over a period of several Page 4 of 9
